How Auras Warn You of Approaching Migraines

An aura is a warning signal that a migraine is on its way, like a mystical preview. It's your body's alarm system indicating that a headache is approaching. 

An aura is a brief episode of sensory, motor, and speech symptoms that can be mistaken for a seizure or stroke. It usually occurs before, during, or after a headache and can last for 10 to 60 minutes. Symptoms vary from person to person and can include: 

• Visual Disturbances: You may experience flashing dots or lights, blind spots, wavy or jagged lines, or temporary vision loss. It's like watching a captivating light show from your own perspective. 

• Sensory Changes: Some people experience numbness or tingling sensations in their skin. This can be a strange and slightly surreal feeling, as if your skin is undergoing a curious transformation. 

• Speech Alterations: Auras can sometimes affect your ability to speak. You may find yourself experiencing changes in your speech patterns or struggling to find the right words. It's as if your words are momentarily caught in a playful dance, teasing your communication skills. 

• Auditory Effects: Ringing in the ears, also known as tinnitus, can accompany an aura. This auditory symphony adds an extra layer to the sensory experience, like a subtle melody playing in the background. 

• Changes in Smell or Taste: During an aura, some people may experience changes in their sense of smell or taste, such as heightened or altered scents and temporary unfamiliar or odd flavors. 

• Overall Sensation: An aura can produce an overall "funny" feeling or sensation that is difficult to describe. It's as if your body is tuned into a different frequency, offering a unique awareness of the impending migraine. 

If you have auras or think you may have migraines, see a healthcare professional for a diagnosis and guidance.
